Matthew S. 3/27/2016 12:15:07 PM Ownership: 0/5	Rating: 5/5This is the "Nifty Fifty" with a twist. This review is from: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens Pros: Excellent portrait lens for both Full Frame and Crop Sensor bodies. Equates to approx. 85mm focal length on Canon 1.6 crop sensor cameras. New STM (Stepping motor) for silent and fast (although not blazing fast) focusing Very sharp lens. Do not let the price fool you. This is used by many pros in the industry and is quite a savings from the 1.4 version which is 100's of dollars more. Best bokeh for the buck. Well for $-/+200/US. Creamy blurred backgrounds as expected, but not comparable to the f1.4 version. Which clearly outperforms this lens in every test. Cons: Not really a con, but Smaller filter size (smaller than the standard f1.8 50mm Canon without STM. I recommend bying a step up or step down ring for filters anyways to keep your filter arsenal ready for most any lens in your gear bag. Full frame users might opt for the 85mm prime as opposed to this as this lens requires you to get quite close to your subject. Works just the opposite for Canon crop sensor owners...this 50mm will give you the optimum focal length (approx. 85mm) for fashion and other portrait photography, STM stands for stepping motor and is whisper quiet for video production and rather fast when speaking of AF function but not blazing fast(tends to search more noticeably in low light situations. Most intermediate to advanced photographers will opt to use manual focus for this prime lens anyways. Other Thoughts: This is a must have lens to have in your gear bag. It's a great lens to throw on your body (either crop or not) and get right out there and do some incredible portrait and street photography. You will not be disappointed. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
